The Simpsons Kooky Carnival

The Simpsons Kooky Carnival was made by Stern Pinball, and it looks like a pinball machine, but though it uses several pinball playfield parts and circuit boards, there are no small metal balls to hit. Instead, you insert either a quarter or a token in the front of a machine which is launched into a playing field full of targets. Each of these targets are worth a varying number of tickets which are dispensed from the front of the machine after you hit them. These tickets can be collected and taken to the counter at the arcade and redeemed for a prize.

The machine includes several mechanical features for the coin to roll into, including a 3-D Homer-Head that holds a coin-accepting donut in his mouth, Bart on a skateboard protecting the entrance to the "Screamatorium" and the Comic Book Guy sitting in a dunk tank taunting the player to dunk him by rolling a coin into his bucket! Each of the characters represent a different letter. Homer is W, Bart is I, and Comic Book Guy is N. Spell WIN and the player receives the Kooky Bonus Award !!

It not only features original dialogue performed by the show's voice actors but also includes the famous Simpsons theme song, as well as many authentic carnival sounds.

A homebrew simulation of the machine was created for Visual Pinball X in 2022.
